Extra long/wide shower curtain rod? Help!

burntfingersNovember 13, 2012

Hello all,

The tub in our new bathroom was designed to have a shelf/bench at the end of the tub. I'm happy with that, but.... the distance from the wall with the fixtures and showerhead to the other end of the "niche" that the tub is in, is 76.5 inches.

I can't find a shower curtain rod long enough to reach from one wall to the other!

Help! Does anyone know of a source for extra long rods? I'd planned on a double rod, but at this point I'd settle for one....

Try signature hardware, but you won't easily find a double rod at an odd size like that. They have both a longer rod you could cut down, or a 5" extension piece for a regular rod. You could also just use the end hardware from a normal rod and have a piece of metal tubing cut to the right size.

I'd found signature hardware and the extensions and the *really* long rods, and they are my backup plans. There's also a company (maybe signature hardware itself) that will create a "custom" rod by cutting down other rods, but I haven't been able to find a double rod so far...

The cable curtain rod is an interesting idea....will have to look into whether it would rust!
